patrick, you say newt gingrich's famous pious baloney line was one of his strongest hits against mitt romney during the primary debates. i want to play that for our viewers who don't remember. take a look. >> can we drop a little bit of the pious baloney? the fact is you ran in '94 and lost. that's why you -- this idea that suddenly citizenship showed up in your mind, just level with the american people. you've been running for at least since the 1990s. >> i'm curious how much of those kind of zingers are prethought out and what does mitt romney have to do to avoid taking a big hit tomorrow night? >> well, that was all newt and part of the great thing about newt is that he knew the topic, you knew the weak points, but he was prepared to answer the question and then if you can come up with pious baloney, then that just puts a cherry on top. interestingly enough, if you googled baloney two hours after that debate you would get oscar mayer and newt gingrich. romney has the same opportunity, especially when it comes to obama's populoous message, i'm one of the common guys and you're out o

watching what it was one deadline past and another deadline, congressman akin staying in, we saw newt gingrich helping to campaign with him. might we see any outside money headed into the todd akin campaign? >> well, from the perspective of the national republican party, they're hedging their bets. they'll wait and see if it is close. sources i've talked to said they don't think it will be, but they're going to not close the door. but with regard to outside groups, one of the biggest ones, crossroads, karl rove's group, they insist they will not spend money there but there are other outside groups. one was backed by senator jim demint. they did a poll of their supporters online, and they all said that they believe that they should back todd akin and i think we have a shot of the website. so far they have raised $138,000 in a week online. so, you know, that's not going to win the race for todd akin, but it is more money than he had before and we'll see how much money they raise in the next month. >> that is missouri. let's talk maine. you and i have talked about senator olympia snowe, on this s

he can be very good as he was against gingrich in florida. >> okay. maria, let's pretend you're a republican strategist. so barack obama supposedly every third question is going to mention this 47% thing. so what would be a good way to combat that for mitt romney? >> well, i think that what he has started to do is something that he should continue to do, which is talk about the 100%. he should not get into trying to explain the 47% because that's just going to be a loser for him. the problem, though, and, again, what i mentioned earlier that there is this narrative and this image of mitt romney that has already cemented in voters' minds. and frankly the 47% comment why it was so damaging is because that wasn't a surrogate, that wasn't a democratic strategist or the obama campaign saying that about mitt romney, that was mitt romney saying that about mitt romney. so he should try to focus as much and pivot to talk about the 100% and be specific. because that is what has been missing from what his plans are versus what the president's are for the middle
